Since I've said it so often I don't know if there is a point, but XDG cache dir is completely inappropriate IMHO.
The data in it can _not_ generally be restored, just try e.g. installing a new drive and dvdcss will stop working completely until the use manually configures a region.
There are also cases where titles are too short for cracking and thus only manually created key files work (which btw. speaks against the binary format, also look at e.g. libaacs, they too use text format files).
